We study the long-range electron and energy transfer mediated by a polaron on an $\alpha$-helix polypeptide chain coupled to donor and acceptor molecules at opposite ends of the chain. We show that for specific parameters of the system, an…
Intermolecular electron transfer reaction often occurs over long range distances (i.e. up to several tens of angstroms) and plays a key role in various physical, chemical and biological processes. In these reactions the rate constant of…
A theory of electrical transport through molecular wires is used to estimate the electronic factor in the intramolecular electron transfer (ET) in porphyrin-nitrobenzene supermolecules, and to analyze its structure. The chosen molecules…
We present a theory of non-equilibrium long range charge transfer between donor and acceptor centers in a model polymer mediated by magnetic exciton (Kondo) bound states. Our model produces electron tunneling lengths easily exceeding…
Recent experimental evidence shows that the pi-orbitals along the stacking of base pairs can facilitate the long-range charge transfer in DNA. Proton motion in the base pair hydrogen bonds has also been found to affect the transfer rate. To…
Long distance excitation energy transfer between a donor and an acceptor embedded in a polymer chain is usually assumed to occur via the Forster mechanism which predicts a 1/R^6 distance dependence of the transfer rate, where R is the…
The electron transfer in different solvents is investigated for systems consisting of donor, bridge and acceptor. It is assumed that vibrational relaxation is much faster than the electron transfer. Electron transfer rates and final…
Charge transfer is a fundamental process that underlies a multitude of phenomena in chemistry and biology. Recent advances in observing and manipulating charge and heat transport at the nanoscale, and recently developed techniques for…
We investigate electron transfer processes in donor-acceptor systems with a coupling of the electronic degrees of freedom to a common bosonic bath. The model allows to study many-particle effects and the influence of the local Coulomb…
We investigate time-dependent electron transfer (ET) in benchmark donor-bridge-acceptor systems. For the small bridge sizes studied, we obtain results far different from the perturbation theory which underlies scattering-based approaches,…
The dependence of electron transfer rates and yields in bridged molecular systems on the bridge length, and the dependence of the zero-bias conduction of molecular wires on wire length are discussed. Both phenomena are controlled by…
We examine, using mixed classical-quantum electron-ion dynamics, electron transfer in a donor-acceptor-like molecular junction system based on polyacetylene. We identify two qualitatively-different transfer regimes: hopping and tunnelling.…
Diffusional dynamics of the donor-acceptor distance in electron-transfer reactions are responsible for the appearance of a new time scale of diffusion over the distance of falloff of electronic tunneling. The distance dynamics compete with…
It is proposed two models describing transport and absorbtion processes that occur in nanoscale fragments of electrical circuits, pulled adsorbed molecules, atomic or molecular chains connecting electrodes. Discrete chain model of a…
Bridge-mediated electron transfer (ET) between a donor and an acceptor is prototypical for the description of numerous most important ET scenarios. While multi-step ET and the interplay of sequential and direct superexchange transfer…
Electron transport in a finite one dimensional quantum spin chain (with ferromagnetic exchange) is studied within an $s-d$ exchange Hamiltonian. Spin transfer coefficients strongly depend on the sign of the $s-d$ exchange constant. For a…
The rates of exciton transfer within dyads of perylene diimide and terrylene diimide connected by oligophenylene bridge units have been shown to deviate significantly from those of F\"{o}rster's resonance energy transfer theory, according…
Tunneling in a quantum coherent structure is not restricted to only nearest neighbours. Hopping between distant sites is possible via the virtual occupation of otherwise avoided intermediate states. Here we report the observation of long…
Electronic transport through a quantum wire sandwiched between two metallic electrodes and coupled to a quantum ring, threaded by a magnetic flux $\phi$, is studied. An analytic approach for the electron transport through the bridge system…
We develop a mathematically rigorous theory for the quantum transfer processes in degenerate donor-acceptor dimers in contact with a thermal environment. We calculate explicitly the transfer rates and the acceptor population efficiency. The…
